proper French Omelet

Mmm- I would love to find a place that does these for breakfast or brunch, instead of the giant overstuffed monstrosities. (each to their own, but I don't tend to enjoy them.)

What Would Jacques Do? is an excellent life philosophy.

It would be really cool to only have one name and have it be your surname.

One of the teachers at my kids' school goes legally by only her surname. She's hella cool.

I am so ready for summer to be over. My kids are driving me nuts.

I just blanch at all those web forms that can't be submitted without first and last names filled in. It would really chafe me to have to fake it.

Maybe I'll legally change my first name to Zen. I like it.

But then I'd sound like I'm 20 and my parents are New Age hippies, wouldn't I? I can't pass for either New Age or 20.

Isn't Episic the flavor that allows women to be ordained? And I recall that they were the only church to have an official presence at the recent pride parade in NYC after the gay marriage passed.

They don't just show up at Pride, they also ordain teh gays. There is a significant queer population at the NY Episcopalian Seminary, from amyth's tales when G was there.

I *love* pony play. LOVE.

Did I ever send you a link or have you seen Unmata's ode to pony play?

I love the last name "de la O." ita, I think it suits you.

For some reason yesterday I was trying to think of fandom where the car is important.

Ghostbusters!

Nora, how are you and Tom feeling?

I'm actually still surprised when I meet an Episcopalian priest who isn't a lesbian.

Right? I only see them as dinner items at Haute French restaurants. Even the French influenced breakfast places around here make American omelets. This was simple and delish: two eggs, whipped and worked in the pan. Fresh herbs.

What Would Jacques Do? is an excellent life philosophy.

Watching him teach omelet technique on YouTube he was the first person who ever really explained what's going on. "You have to break down the albumen or the white gets hard in the pan. You can add a little chervil, or a little parsley..." Gallic shrug indicating anything beyond that is excessive to the point of baroque. Also I like the way he says "albumen" and "chervil."

I was just reading something about how Google+ requires a first and last name, and some Aborigines are protesting it, since they traditionally have just one name. (No one has actually come forward and said, "I have just one name and Google+ won't let me sign up," though, since, according to the article, most Aborigines who have much contact with the outside world also have a two-name name that they use.)

I took today off of work too so that I could do stuff like grocery shop and clean, but somehow all I've done so far is sit on the couch and figure out that if I make a quick run to the Safeway tomorrow night, I can hold off on real grocery shopping until next weekend.

I don't think this was linked here, but I also don't remember exactly where I ran across it...
